Why do lawyers get a bad rap? Here it is....
And ya see, I look at that a bit differently. The defendant is entitled to an attorney. No question. This ambulance/headline chaser 'volunteered' for the job. As such, he should belly up to the microphone and be proud of his involvement, and disclose both his motives and anyone else's who are paying his fees. Don't be a chickensh*t and lie and hide behind some bogus 'ethics' excuse.

I hope they get the best defense money can buy.

Once they are convicted, they will not have any argument about an ineffective defense.

A) Some lawyers like to be hams. And, when there's a stuff like this, other defense attorneys like them - because, otherwise, they will have to be their attorney.

B) There is an ethical obligation for a defense. It can be ugly. I've had, next to, nothing to do with criminal law, but I was strong-armed into helping the defense for a real villain (all I had to do was find him counsel in another jurisdiction), I still felt awful - but it had to be done, because the man had a right to counsel, and someone was going to have to defend that POS.

In my world, admittedly terribly old fashioned, the job of a lawyer is to see that the defendant gets a FAIR trial.

That does not include attacking the victim!

Wonder how the asshole would feel if it was his daughter or wife that had been raped.

If I remember correctly, that's what Hillary did long ago. I even realize everyone doesn't have or share the same sense of decency. But the way to reduce the amount of the asshattery being shown by the defense counsel is to allow them all the freedom they want. But then let them also share the prison cell with their defendant.

In sad and sorry fact, attacking the victim in cases like this was far more the norm long ago than today. It was common at one time for law enforcement officials to say that the victim was wearing provocative clothing, or got drunk, or was in a “bad” part of town and should have known better, or that she otherwise “deserved” being raped for some reason. I cannot imagine a law enforcement official saying something like that today.

One of the most memorable trials I had a chance to observe was of a soldier who kidnapped and raped a German woman at knifepoint. The defense didn’t claim that the incident didn’t occur as claimed by the victim (the subject confessed to pretty much everything when interviewed), but that “[the victim] was the type of woman who would have consented to sex with SGT [Subject] even if he hadn’t threatened her with a knife.” That was literally the entire defense, and to back up the claim? The woman worked in a bar, probably had other sexual partners, got off work in the early morning hours, and—horror of horrors!—had a tattoo on her arm.

I and another CID agent were able to attend the court martial because although we had been called, it was decided we weren’t going to testify. We could only sit in stunned amazement that the defense was able to attack the woman’s character in a way that had nothing to do with the circumstances of the crime. Even though this happened in the early 1980s, the previous year to the trial the Army (and probably all the armed forces) had sent down guidance to Staff Judge Advocate and CID offices stating that that sort of attack on sexual crime victims’ characters and which were unrelated to the offense was specifically prohibited at trial. Unlike us investigators, however, the prosecutor, judge, and (sleaze ball civilian) defense attorney were all evidently unaware of the fact—or simply didn’t care.

Despite having confessed to having abducted the victim by threatening her with a knife and then having sex with her at a deserted spot early in the morning, the sergeant was acquitted of rape and convicted of some minor degree of assault that didn’t even result in a punitive discharge.

So, character attacks on sexual assault victims are hardly new; they may be unusual in this day in age (I certainly hope so), but are obviously not unknown.

Yeah, and she later laughed about, and then bragged about it.

Did this, by chance, take place in Frankfurt, Germany in the early to mid '60s?

I was called to interpret for some German witnesses at a court martial.

To the main stream media, this isn't newsworthy because it doesn't fit their narrative, but, 2 teens being prevented for boarding a flight due to their clothing is news.

Why are the US taxpayers having to pay for a lawyer for a illegal, he has no rights! So he should have to pay for his own defense, or better yet send him back to his home country and let them put him in their prison. If they won't do that cut off any, aid, shut down visas for anyone from that country. The US needs to start playing hardball and quit this mister nice guy stuff, you let a criminal come from your country to ours you pay a price. A large part of our gang problems are from illegals that obama let in, he should be tried for every crime that they commit. My 2 cents

Father of Maryland high school rape suspect arrested by ICE

43-year-old Adolfo Sanchez-Reyes was arrested last Friday “after a review of his immigration history revealed he was unlawfully present in the United States” from Guatemala.

Sanchez-Reyes has been issued a notice to appear in immigration court and is currently being detained at the Howard County Detention Center in Jessup.

Sanchez-Reyes is the father of 18-year-old Henry Sanchez-Milian, one of two teenage students charged with first-degree rape and first-degree sexual offenses of a 14-year-old girl inside a bathroom at the Montgomery County high school.

Authorities have said Sanchez-Milian is also in the country illegally after he was stopped and detained by a U.S. border patrol agent in Texas last August.

“He was stopped at the border and detained by ICE,” said Andrew Jezic, the 18-year-old’s attorney. “He was detained for 12 days, but then ICE made the discretionary decision to simply let him go. They put him on a plane in Texas and his father had to pay for the ticket. His father picked him up at BWI Airport and he's been in this country with the full awareness of ICE.”

Jezic said his client is innocent and the encounter with the 14-year-old girl was pre-planned and consensual.

Yep, I'm sure that's it. I'm sure she planned to be gang raped and sodomized. Roll Eyes

Is it possible for a 14 year old girl to have "consensual" sex with an adult, legally?

What a scumbag!

Unfortunately, yes, I posted this a couple pages back...

MD's laws make this a whirlwind of complete technicalities.
The girl can be said to have had consensual sex because the oldest perp isn't more than 4 years older than her. Essentially for the same reason, the perps can't be charged with statutory rape. What a major cluster-fuck.

Like most states, there are some situations in Maryland where people under the age of consent may legally have sex, as long as there is only a small age difference between them. In Maryland, persons aged between 14 and 16 may consent to sex as long as the other partner is not more than 4 years older.

Attorneys for one of the two suspects accused of raping a 14-year-old girl in a bathroom stall at Rockville High School said the girl texted their client the day before the incident and agreed to have sex with him, according to court papers filed Monday.

The girl also texted “explicitly compromising images of herself” to him, the attorneys asserted in the court filing.

“This was a consensual act. It was preplanned,” said David Wooten, an attorney for Jose Montano, 17.

Even if there were such communications made between the girl and one of the suspects, the criminal case would hinge on whether the girl agreed at the time to have sex — in a bathroom stall, with two people — or whether she was attacked.

Capt. James Humphries, commander of the Montgomery Police Department’s Special Victims Investigation unit, which is handling the case, said he stands by the investigation’s findings.

“The events were horrible. They were not consensual,” he said.

Police Chief Tom Manger has described the attack as “brutal” and said he is confident that police have a strong case.
